Hi all, posted this over at another forum but didn't get much help. So, hope someone can answer a few questions regarding the Green Swamp WMA (just north of Lakeland)....
I have been hunting Three Lakes WMA for the past 5yrs or so, but because my hunting buddies joined leases in N. Fl., I will be hunting alone at Green Swamp WMA for Archery this year and had a couple of questions for those who have been there...
Basically, I just want an overview of the camp area. At 3-lakes, camper-trailers are abound along with the constant hum of generators. So, I would like to bring the same camp-setup to Green Swamp WMA and want to know if it's similar as 3 Lakes....
1.
Campers & generators --- are they allowed? I was a little concerned because I noticed this property is owned or partly owned by the SWFWMD and unsure whether or not they had specific rules/regs about camp sites.
Will other people have similar setup (use of generators to run a camper)? I have an old 14ft camper -- I call it "The Bubble", just a 1960 silver bubble with 2 bunks and a table for dinner (take out the window and insert small a/c unit for a nightly "freeze"
2. WMA maps show the campsite entrance is off hwy 471 in the Compressco area (on the north side of the main grade). Is this the correct location?I found anothermap that differed from theFWC's anddid not show the same location forthe camp area. Also--are signs posted off of hwy 471?
Any other comments regarding experiences you have had there are greatly appreciated!!!!
Take Care,
james
